A print cartridge company sent a letter to a business office offering to supply a free premium printer if the business office would agree to purchase all the print cartridges the office would need from the print cartridge company. This letter arrived in the hands of the business owner on the same day the office printer failed. The business office had experienced a slow month and the business owner was trying to decide whether to pay the office rent for the month or fix the printer.
